When the weather is warm, there is nothing better than something cold to help you cool off. Ice cream is a delicious treat but many people find it to be too creamy. For this reason, frozen yogurt is preferred as a lighter option. If you want to make your own, here is an easy recipe to follow.

What you need:

  • 4 cups of frozen fruit
  • 3 tablespoons of honey
  • ½ cup of yogurt (use the non-fat or low-fat if you’re watching your weight)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

  • Making frozen yogurt is easy. Start by placing all ingredients in your food processor.
  • Process for 5 minutes or until smooth and creamy but don’t overdo it.
  • You can enjoy right away or use an airtight container to store in your freezer.

Important tips

When you make your own frozen yogurt, it is important to remember that you can get really creative with flavours. You can use frozen fruit from bags or you can buy fresh fruit and freeze it before proceeding with the steps above.

Fruit options

While you can get creative when making frozen yogurt, it’s also good to remember that some flavours work particularly well together. For example, banana and strawberry or strawberry and kiwi.

If you have never made frozen yogurt before, it might be best to try out different fruit combinations in small batches first. Once you get the hang of it and figure out which ones you love the most, you can make larger batches.
